Renewing
a Mortgage?
Mortgage
coming up for renewal... Don't be too hasty in just signing the form and
sending it back to the lender. Over
60% of
mortgage holders do just that, and the usual result is — a higher rate
and a mortgage product that might not be best suited to their needs. Let
us do all the work for you — we will find you the best possible rate and
product to suit your interests. Click here

You want
to renew/switch your mortgage to another lender who will most often give
you a better rate. Most lenders now offer "no cost or low cost switches"
and it's a smart way to reduce your interest costs. We can take care of
all the details for you and help you negotiate with your existing lender
or find a new lender who will give you very competitive rates. Get us working
for you today. In addition, here's how switching works along with important
related information.
What
happens legally when you switch?
Most people
are unaware of the legal effect of switching lenders. When you renew you
are essentially starting the process again — discharging the existing mortgage,
taking out a new one, and beginning the whole payment process, albeit at
a lower principal amount. As such, you should treat this as just as important
a process as the first time you arranged the mortgage. Remember your situation
will most likely have changed since then, and you require a different product
with different terms attached to suit your situation.
In most
Provinces a switch of the current or lower balance requires only a simple
assignment of interest in the mortgage to be executed by all parties and
registered on title. This assignment also attaches the specific terms that
will have legal effect, and replaces those of the transferring institution.
So even though the old mortgage is still registered on title, all those
old terms and conditions registered by your previous lender will be completely
replaced by those of your new lender under the assignment of interest.
The lenders
count on 70% of renewers just signing the form and mailing it in — they
are not forcing you — but they are preying on human nature to embrace convenience.
However, let us do the work for you — the same convenience, at a much lower
cost to you and a product and terms that will suit your current situation.
The fact is that it is likely another lender will give you what you want
at a rate you want — there are no legal implications to you switching.
